    Beach Hazard Statement - 1:51pm Sat Oct 10 2026

    ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM SUNDAY TO 10 PM PDT MONDAY...

    WHAT: For the Beach Hazards Statement, minor tidal overflow
    flooding with elevated surf and dangerous rip currents are
    expected. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor to moderate
    coastal flooding can be expected near times of high tide,
    especially with the Sunday morning high tide.

    WHERE: Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa
    Barbara County Southeastern Coast.

    WHEN: For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Tuesday
    afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 6 AM Sunday to
    10 PM PDT Monday.

    IMPACTS: Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely
    around high tide at low-lying beach and harbor areas that is
    uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is
    possible. The risk for significant damage is very low. There is
    an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull
    swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off
    beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Large
    secondary high tides are also expected each evening.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: High tides are expected to peak around 7.7
    feet on Sunday morning, then 7.1 to 7.3 feet on Monday and
    Tuesday mornings.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do
    NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.

    Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
    stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
    in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
